Are you seeing a higher voltage rating on the caps that you have left - compared to the caps that are still in the radio?

ALL 10v need to be replaced with higher voltage caps. 10v caps are the ones that usually fail first! So, if you need to replace a .1uf 10v cap in the radio (like C111), and all you have is a 16v or 25v .1uf cap left in the cap kit; then you can do that w/o a problem. That is an upgrade, since most 10v caps are prone to fail first. Low voltage caps are notorious for failing. The only way to keep that from happening is to use a larger voltage rated cap.
